Supermodel Helena Christensen’s son Mingus Reedus arrested over alleged assault of woman in New York City

Supermodel Helena Christensen’s son Mingus Reedus, 25, has been arrested at a swanky apartment in New York on Saturday, US time, after allegedly assaulting a 33-year-old woman.

Reedus, who is the son of the Danish supermodel and The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus, was charged with one count of assault and one count of criminal obstruction of breathing, per the New York Police Department.

He was later charged with three additional counts, including assault, recklessly causing physical injury, aggravated harassment and harassment, according to New York Criminal Court public records.

Reedus has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He will next appear in court on Tuesday, US time.

Speaking to People magazine, Reedus’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, claimed her client was innocent.

“Despite what the prosecutor said in court — which is not evidence — they [the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office] chose to charge Mingus with misdemeanors or less. This speaks volumes, and much louder than the unsupported prosecutor’s in-court comments,” Chaudhry wrote.

She added, “Equally important, the judge released Mingus on his own recognizance, with neither bail nor supervision. That significant judicial decision amplifies the volume. Mingus is presumed innocent and has pled not guilty.

Previously, Mingus was in trouble with the law in 2021.

He was accused of allegedly assaulting a 24-year-old woman during the San Gennaro festival in New York City.

Mingus was accused of punching the complainant.

He later told New York Daily News that the woman came after him and his friends.

Ultimately, he accepted a plea deal in March 2022, for disorderly conduct.

Reedus has worked with high-end brands including Calvin Klein. He also walked the runway for New York Fashion Week in 2017.
